people, you dont have to qualify pessimism with "not to be like Leazes" I get what you're saying but really you're only as good as your most recent efforts are teams coming to us saying "they were in the championship a couple of seasons ago" I have my doubts

this season has been a stand out for poor decisions by the refs influencing results, theres not been a round of matches where it hasn't happened

Oh yeah, everyone loves Ashley on here. Clearly. Most of us have a mixed opinion, a mainly negative one that we're willing to put to one side in order to enjoy the impressive season the players and staff have given us. Whether Leazes is or isn't right isn't the problem for any of us anyway. It's the constant repetition of his views that people have a problem with, often to the detriment of threads that get derailed thanks to him and others. And yes, it's just a forum. Just a bit of fun, somewhere to debate the club and the sport. No need for people to have agendas on it. exactly, and for all leazes may have fun with "the debate" im reasonably sure its ruining a lot of others enjoyment of the place better to get rid of the one tbh

Ive been in his "pro ashley brigade" for ages largely for thinking hes a crackpot rather than actually being pro ashley, the world in which we live contains threads utterly dominated by someone who thinks that way

with where they are in the league they probably think that most weeks tbf what do they think are our poor points?

missed that, that can't be for real?

The problem is when you get referees who will only speak to the captain and the player(s) involved in an incident. Hart can't really run the length of the pitch to make his point. Kahn did it for long enough didn't he? to me Hart is the best call, only player who isn't a total scumbag but will be in the team for a long time, in him we've a top 'keeper who will be number 1 (and could be captain) for a long time. who else is there?

It seemingly hasnt dawned on Dalglish that Terry has been charged and has to appear in front of magistrates for exactly the same thing that Suarez did. Rightly or wrongly its a criminal offence to racially abuse someone in the UK.To be fair to Suarez his admission of the offence may have kept the police out of it. Parker man of the match?...he's stopped doing his little pirouettes in midfiled as much but apart from that he's an above average midield grafter. Same as he was here. Dawson was the best player on the park last night. That lads come on a lot. If the Terry situation deteriotes and he ends up not going to Poland then he's a good a "stopper" as anyone iyam. the one tackle on Carroll by Dawson (that carroll wanted a pen for) was absolutely perfectly judged, surprised how he has come on. the best thing about Parker is his discipline, he sits and he doesn't mind doing it, picks his time to get forward very well which gives spurs, who have lacked that for a long time, a much better balance in the side and has really pushed them on like him or loathe him hes made a difference to them no question

tbh I'm coming round to the view that its not just LM one or two on here don't seem to be able to post without mentioning him in some way needs knocking on the head though as a few have said

An 84 86 pace and shooting don't remember the others.

Hardly a classic but reasonable result for our interests

"that wouldve been fairytale stuff" aye the bloke coming back from 2 bans, one for racially abusing a fellow professional scores on his return...fairytale fucking bellend

that one genuinely got a laugh

wonder what Frank Johanssons done dont remember being able to hear a tannoy so clearly on the telly

google the title and make your mind up

worth the read for the punchline tbh

Just wondering since the banner says "bringing newcastle fans back home" so feck off somewhere else

so what if you buy the shirts, spend money on the merch etc, get to games if you can but not often because youre a long way off fan or supporter?

Bale did well to turn that on target though Im sure J69 is thinking "how did he possibly have time to think 'Im going to jump up and flip this through my legs with my right towards goal' he mustve done it by accident"

Demba has a Jan Upgrade

commentary "is it kennys?" "well its not black so it wont bring him luck"
